• CDS “Five Rights”
– CDS should deliver the right information, to the right
person, in the right format, in the right channel, at the
right time during work flow.

– Not just an app, widget, alert, or reminder
– Not just for physicians at the point of care
– Can represent the “actionable” side of quality measurement
